I didn't get to watch this past Sunday's episode, but I actually really enjoyed the previous one. It was the first one that I felt was well written and the actors are starting to mesh. I don't think this show lasts long, but it is getting a little better.

HIMYM was ok last night. I thought Ted was going to meet the mother, but it seems they are going to play up the wedding for a few episodes before he actually meets her. They had a few "flash forwards" with her, but he hasn't met her yet. This will probably go through the first 6-8 episodes IMO. But it is definitely time for the show to end.

Well produced and written show. The two leads were a little too "Hannibal Lecter/Clarice Starling" for me in the first half of the show, but I think that will change as it moves forward. James Spader plays an interestingly complex character.

liked Blacklist and Sleepy Hollow a lot, but HIMYM can end now if the first show is any indication of where it's heading. The laughs for me were nonexistent, it felt stale and forced, and right now I don't really care for the character or the actress that plays "your mother". 2 Broke Girls was kinda "meh" too.

I'll have to check out Sleep Hollow.

Felt the same way with HIMYM. But I'm going to stick with it because I have for the last 8 years. But it was stale and forced. I loved the first 4 seasons of the show, then seasons 5-7 were meh. Last season was decent just for the buildup to who the mother was, but I agree, I felt the person they chose was meh as well.

Sleepy Hollow has some SERIOUS potential. It happens to be right up my alley as far as genre, direction, writing is concerned. The main female lead is an average actress at best but I can look past it.

Seeing as how this season takes place over the course of wedding weekend, I don't think we'll being seeing the meeting until the finale. I hope there are more flash forward scenes so that we have visible evidence that the two actually work together.

I didn't know the whole season was at the wedding. Yeah, I agree then.

The guy who did Rome is creating "Gotham" dealing with the early career of James Gordon.

It explores the origin stories of Commissioner James Gordon and the villains who made Gotham City famous. In Gotham, Gordon is still a detective with the Gotham City Police Department and has yet to meet Batman, who will not be part of the series.
